1 Whole Frying Chicken

2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 cup Leeks, sliced into 2" lengths, washed and drained

Salt and Pepper, to taste
*

3 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard

1/4 cup Whipping Cream, unsweetened and unwhipped

Instructions

Hack the chicken i.e. cut into serving pieces. Use a cleaver and have the pieces no larger than 2 inches square. Heat a large frying pan or wok and add the oil. Saute the chicken pieces over high heat, until they are browned.

Remove the chicken from the wok; drain oil and discard.

Saute the garlic and shallots in the pan for a minute. Add the white wine and the chicken. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender, about 15 minutes.

Increase the heat to high. Add the leeks. Toss and cook for a moment. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.

Add the mustard and cream. Toss and serve. You may need to add more wine if the sauce is too thick.
